Finding a CBIT Provider

If you are looking for a CBIT provider, you can search for a certified provider on the TAA website. Go to https://tourette.org/find-a-provider/ and enter information about your location, the age group you are looking for services for, and select CBIT in the Clinical Expertise dropdown. This will create a list of providers in your geographical area and their contact information.

Call the providers in your area to inquire about their services. There are a few things to consider when selecting the best provider for you or your loved one. Rapport and personality are always important things to consider when selecting any provider, so consider how your interactions with the provider make you feel and if you feel you or your child will connect with the provider. Inquire about whether they offer services in person or via telehealth. Do they have an office, clinic, or do they do community sessions? It is important to consider what will work best for your familiy. Also, consider cost, payment options, and insurance. 

When searching for a CBIT provider, you may see that there are practitioners from various practice areas. The services can be provided by occupational therapists, physicians, psychologists, behavioral therapists, social workers, and other allied health professionals. The kinds of practitioners are selected based on strengths and experience found in the practice area and they all have behavioral and clinical expertise.

Though the providers come from many different backgrounds, they are all trained in the specific protocols of CBIT through the Tourette Association of America. They have all been mentored through the process to recieve the certification. You should not expect a difference in the CBIT that is provided. All providers also bring along skills from their backgrounds in their areas of practice. All providers also bring along their own personalitie, ,experience working with clients, and social skills. 

The cost of CBIT by provider is based on how their particular practice area bills and is reimbursed for their services. This is why potential clients looking for CBIT will see differences in the cost of evaluation and the subsequent sessions.
